readx;? Since His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill, the court seemed much more deserted, and the usual government affairs were handled by Prime Minister Gomez, and the Emperor rarely visited in person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Due to the health of His Majesty the Emperor, the court has not held a grand party for a long time.

Even if it is occasionally held for some traditional reasons, the scale is not large, and it is impossible to get several princes together.

This ball, which was held to celebrate Lady Thorn's birthday, was not a big deal.

Not to mention that the second prince Leighton has a great grudge against Lady Thorns, even the eldest prince Leo may not be able to sell her face.

But now is an extraordinary period of undercurrents, and rumors from the outside world are boiling.

But the real inside story, these characters at the top of the power are very clear.

Getting closer and closer to that point in time, coupled with the emergence of key figures, it is necessary for them to go to the front desk to test each other's bottom line.

This is probably their last encounter in secret.

It won't be long before everyone's ambitions are on the table.

And at that time, it was the time when the bloody storm officially began.

The carriage with the family crest of the Black Fire family slowly drove towards the imperial city, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly crisp in the solemn imperial city.

Lin Ye sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, while Wendy told him about the members of the court and the great nobles who really held power.

Although she has no intention of participating in the struggle for imperial power, she is the fifth heir to the throne after all, and she is in the center of power.

There is no doubt that the information that can be accessed is much more reliable than that of Charana and Fante.

Lin Ye's mind quickly weaved the pyramid structure of the entire royal capital, including the prime minister who held the power and the generals who held the military power.

And the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the major chambers of commerce led by Miranda and Kemal.

In addition to all of them, there is one person, or location, that plays a crucial role.

That is His Excellency Solo, the Inspector General of the Supervisory Yuan.

Because he is the fifth person in the royal capital to hold military power in addition to Landau and his sons, Austen, and Owen.

Among them, Owen was the commander of the garrison, and Mites was his subordinate.

Although Cassius commanded a part of the army, this army belonged to the border army, and it was strictly restricted in the royal capital and could not be easily mobilized.

Austin, on the other hand, is the head of the Knights of Light, which is under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light.

The actions of any one of these people will affect the situation in the entire royal capital.

In the present moment of the storm, these people have more or less moved.

In addition to the fact that Landau's father and son swore allegiance to the emperor and could not win them over, the 2,000 gendarmes under the command of Solo could definitely play a role in turning the tide at a critical time, but what kind of attitude he would have, who has always been known for his uprightness, is still intriguing.

"Has it arrived? Why did the carriage stop?"

When Lin Ye was probably clearing his head, the carriage suddenly stopped, and he looked out the window, where a large number of soldiers were on duty.

These soldiers are majestic, well-armoured, and able to defend the imperial city, they must be the elite of the elite.

If he were to engage such a soldier, I am afraid that only the First Army under his command would be sure of victory.

"There should be one more level away from the palace, right, what's going on?"

Wendy, who was familiar with the structure of the Imperial City, looked out the window and frowned.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside the carriage.

It seems that someone stopped them.

"Whose carriage are you? How dare you stand in the way of Lao Tzu? If you don't get out of the way, Lao Tzu still has to hurry up and go to the Lady Thorns' ball." ”

At the last checkpoint to the palace, a carriage blocked the path of the Black Fire family's carriage in a backward position.

This put Fante in a dilemma, both carriages were stuck in the middle of the road, and neither could move forward.

The officers guarding the checkpoint came up to check on the situation.

"It's obvious that you are robbing the road, how can you accuse us? This is the carriage of the Duke, don't you know the family crest?"

Fant was a little annoyed, during this period of time, under the influence of Lin Ye, he gradually gained some confidence in speaking.

Moreover, this is the other party's arrogance and unreasonableness in the first place.

During this time, he did not spend time in the royal capital, and recognized the other party as the carriage of Chapman, the chancellor of the exchequer.

"Duke? Which duke is it? Could it be the Duke of Link from the Far East recently?"

The slightly chubby groom was swaggering and had no intention of retreating.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer can be regarded as a fat shortage, and the gold content is not low.

The seats in the Imperial Council can be ranked in the top five, and if there is a change in the position of prime minister, the chancellor is definitely the favorite to replace him.

"It's my duke. ”

Fant was annoyed by the groom's attitude, so he confronted him.

It seems to be a contest between two servants, but it is actually the face of the characters behind the two sides.

The officer who came over to check on the situation looked at the carriage behind Vant, frowned, and then looked at the arrogant groom.

"What's going on?"

The bloated Chapman played with the ring on his hand and yawned and came out.

He was used to going in and out of the court as a minister, and the guards were very familiar with him.

As for the coat of arms of the Duke of the Far East, they were relatively unfamiliar.

"My lord, that Duke of the Far East has robbed us of the way, he has been in the limelight recently, and he really thinks of himself as a character, and the imperial city is also a place where he can be presumptuous?"

The officers who witnessed the whole process were silent.

The bias of the position is obvious.

"It's obvious that you robbed the way, why do you spew blood?" Van was angry, pointing at the groom and angry.

"Then you're going to show proof? A word of warning, this is not the place for you, is it, my lord. ”

The groom spoke for Chapman, his face full of flattery.

Chapman nodded in satisfaction.

This groom is very clever, and he always does things to his liking.

"These people have seen it, you ......," Van wanted the officer to speak up.

But he didn't care about himself at all.

This puts them at a disadvantage.

Lancelot's face turned pale.

"This is the royal capital, it is the imperial city, go back, unless you are summoned by His Majesty the Emperor or his wife, you are not qualified to come. ”

Chapman yawned slowly.

He was right, even if the duke was in a noble position.

But if you are not summoned, you will not be able to enter the Imperial City.

This can be regarded as a poke in the other party's death hole.

Just as he was about to return to the carriage.

"Really, do I want to go home, and I need your permission?" ”

Wendy's stiff voice came out.

She stepped out of the carriage, and the officer guarding saw her and immediately greeted her.

"Your Highness Wendy, I don't know how negligent you are in the carriage. ”

Wendy waved her hand, ignoring the officer, and looked directly at Chancellor Chapman.

This sharp look made Chapman a little hairy.

He never expected Wendy to be in the carriage, and he was stunned.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it is natural for you to return to the court, but he ......"

Chapman stammered, and Wendy, as the fifth in line to the throne, was equal to the four princes.

He could ignore a duke who was in name only, and who had offended many people.

But he didn't dare to offend Her Royal Highness the princess and commit the crime of disrespect, which was on the gallows.

"He's my husband, isn't he qualified to enter the Imperial City?" said Wendy.

Chapman was dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
